The Luoyang National Disaster Meeting was held for six days in a row, and the number of people participating in the meeting was decreasing every day. In the end, there were even less than a hundred people. The update will be fast and there will be no ads.
During the entire meeting, Chang Kaishen didn't show up much. Only Wang Zhaoming danced the most fiercely, playing and singing to himself from beginning to end, and making things difficult for the democrats. He seemed to enjoy this scene very much.
Unable to seek recognition at the meeting, democrats went to the sidelines and used newspapers and magazines to criticize the KMT's dictatorial rule.
Of course, the Kuomintang did not show weakness. When Zhang Daofan, a member of the Central Committee, gave a speech in Nanjing, he criticized the situation and said: "There were originally more than 400 members in the national crisis, but the number has only increased to more than 100. The elements in it are complicated, red, yellow, dark and green, and everything... advocates canceling
Those who rule by the party were originally politicians with a party background, or even lackeys of emperors and warlords. They used to destroy the rule of the people, but now they are not qualified to talk about politics."
Zhang Jiluan did not even notify Zhou Hexuan, but published an editorial in sharp words to respond to Zhang Daofan's frame-up.
Tianjin was even more powerful. They directly called Wang Zhaoming a "political liar" by name, saying that his performance in the opposition and in the government were completely different.
All the words were dismissed as farts.
The situation at this time is that ordinary people, opposition politicians, celebrities, big capitalists, newspapers and media, cultural scholars... all call for the cancellation of the tutelage and the implementation of democratic constitutionalism.
Not to mention whether democratic constitutionalism is feasible, everyone is fed up with autocratic dictatorship, and it feels like "the world has been suffering for a long time."
The main reason is because the Kuomintang is so bad and has offended all walks of life and all aspects of society. Even the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium that originally supported Chang Kaishen now wishes for the early collapse of the central government.
On the last day of the national crisis meeting, Wang Zhaoming issued an impassioned declaration, enumerating Japan's crimes of invading Northeast China and Shanghai, saying that it would be impossible to survive without pooling the country's financial resources for a long-term war of resistance.
When specific military issues were discussed, Chang Kaishen's people took the opportunity to propose a proposal to consolidate local military power in the name of "anti-Japanese". This proposal was "smoothly" passed, showing the participants' determination to serve the country.
Finally, the topic returned to the fight against Japan. Some people advocated resolute resistance, some advocated diplomatic settlement, and some said that preparations should be made for both.
"Mr. Zhou, you have been in meetings for several days and why haven't you said a word?" Ma Yinchu asked suddenly.
Everyone looked at Zhou Hexuan, who smiled and said, "There's nothing to say. Let's go back home as soon as possible and go to bed."
Lin Sen, the Maitreya Buddha, said unhappily: "This is a national crisis meeting. Everyone is discussing strategies to save the country. How come there is nothing to say? Talk about it, and you should talk about it too."
Only then did Zhou Hexuan begin to express his views: "Japan wants to invade Northeast China before it has time to digest it. There are serious conflicts between the Japanese cabinet and the military. At the same time, the great powers are also putting pressure on the Japanese government. Under these three predicaments, Japan is unable to fully invade."
China's. The Japanese army's attack on Shanghai is just to divert international and domestic attention. Within a month or two, Japan will definitely agree to a ceasefire and withdraw from the Songhu area on its own. Therefore, this battle cannot be fought for the time being. I think
You can negotiate a peace however you want."
Wang Zhaoming said in surprise: "Will Japan really withdraw its troops?"
"We will definitely withdraw, so when negotiating, we can be tougher and sternly reject Japan's unreasonable demands." Zhou Hexuan suggested.
Chang Kaishen only attended the meeting on the opening and closing days. At this time, he said: "Mr. Zhou is really sure?"
Zhou Hexuan said slightly sarcastically: "I am sure Japan will withdraw its troops. At the same time, I firmly oppose peace talks with Japan. The Battle of Songhu must continue. The harder it is fought, the greater the pressure will be on Japan and the great powers. Of course, the central government's
I can't interfere with the decision, and I know you don't dare to fight."
Chang Kaishen was very thick-skinned. He didn't even show his embarrassment when he heard this and asked: "Mr. Zhou, do you have any other suggestions?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "The central government must be prepared for a long-term war of resistance. As Mr. Dai Ren said, the Japanese army will definitely come back in a few years. At that time, it cannot be resolved by peace talks. It was a national war, with thousands of casualties on both sides.
A massive national war will turn most of China into scorched earth."
"Mr. Zhou is making alarmist remarks, and that's definitely not the case." Wang Zhaoming suddenly interrupted.
Zhou Hexuan directly ignored Wang Zhaoming and said to Chang Kaishen: "China's top priorities are: first, to build the country to prepare for future wars; second, to make good friends with European and American powers and put diplomatic pressure on Japan; third, to restore diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and give Japan a geographical advantage
Military pressure.”
Chang Kaishen nodded in appreciation and said: "What Mr. Zhou said are all mature strategies for running a country."
In fact, Yan Huiqing had secretly contacted the Soviet Union, but the central government's attitude towards this was wavering, fearing that resuming diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union would offend Britain, the United States and other countries.
Zhou Hexuan said: "Mr. Chairman, I have another suggestion. When China and the Soviet Union resume diplomatic relations, they should advocate taking back Heixiazi Island. Heixiazi Island has been occupied by illegally stationed troops by the Soviet Union after the Middle East Road Incident. They will certainly not easily
Return. China can promise the Soviet Union to station troops, but the sovereignty of the islands must belong to China. This should be established in the form of documents. The Soviet Union urgently needs international recognition. They are willing to resume diplomatic relations with China. With China’s official recognition, they are in the dark
The garrison on the island also has a legal basis, which makes both sides happy."
"Well, I understand." Chang Kaishen's tone was obviously perfunctory. He probably didn't even know where Heixiazi Island was, let alone those islands with poor borders.
Zhou Hexuan was helpless about this. He didn't expect Chang Kaishen, so he planned to write directly to Yan Huiqing on the Nezhwa side, saying that he must get the sovereignty of Heixiazi Island back. This is a territorial dispute that will continue into the 21st century.
Zhou Hexuan continued: "There will be an international non-war conference in Europe at the end of next month. Mr. Einstein has written to invite me to participate. I will try my best to appeal internationally, hoping to get the support of some international anti-war people."
"Then I wish Mr. Zhou a safe journey!" Chang Kaishen paid more attention to this. He was not sure whether Japan would withdraw its troops. It would be good to arouse international sympathy.
Zhou Hexuan said: "That's all I want to say, I've finished it."
"Mr. Zhou's speech was wonderful." Chang Kaishen took the lead in applauding in affirmation.
Compared with those democrats who don't care about 46, Zhou Hexuan is obviously much more pleasing to the eye. At least he is not talking about empty talk. Chang Kaishen still appreciates Zhou Hexuan.
The conference was quickly declared to be a successful conclusion. That night Zhou Hexuan was summoned by Chang Kaishen, and the two secretly discussed the Sino-Japanese issue. No one knew what they discussed specifically.
